That is not a time anyone wants to be up at. Unfortunately, that is when I woke up, and couldn't go back to sleep. I watched a rerun of that old show, Alice. Finally, at 7am I went to buy groceries. That's a good time to go because on a Monday morning no one is there. I invited my dad and his wife over for dinner this week, so I got enough for that. It occurred to me I had never had both of them over before. My parents sure, but just my dad since my mom died.
What do you do when you get up at 3am?

I sometimes lay there and try to go back to sleep. If that does not work I get up, drink coffee, and after checking my glucose and bp I eat something. Often I wake up at 3:30 feeling hungry or with a headache. I have quit having the headaches since I quit work. Coincidence?
I get online and try to get as much of my regular stuff done as possible.

I usually wake up just before 4 am every day when I don't have to.

That is nice you will have your dad and his wife. That's sort of fun, isn't it?
Ugh 3 AM. Like you I tend to turn on TV
Hope you get better sleep soon

I wake up about 2:30 every morning to use the bathroom it seems. I sometimes have trouble going back to sleep and others I fall right back to sleep. I hope you were able to get a nap later in the day. Hope dinner goes well this week with your dad and his wife.

I wake up a few times during the night. I don't know what time it is because I refuse to look at the clock. I just look at the window to see if it's still dark. If it's dark I tell myself that I should be asleep. I lie there until I eventually fall back to sleep. If I wake up and I see daylight streaming into the room then I look at the clock to see what time it is.

Actually that's a very good question.
I was up around 3 am.
I went for a walk yesterday and shortly after that my archilles heel was bothering me. I woke with pain, and had to sit up for a bit and then took a Tylenol.
When I'm up thru the night I will go on the site here and just read until my eyes tire.
You made good use of your early morning time getting your groceries. I hope that you all enjoy a nice meal together.

The only time I'm up at 3am is for a bathroom run. I rarely wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep.
I'm sure your dad and his wife will be happy to have dinner with you this week.
